The main was pretty average, nothing amazing but perfectly edible. For dessert my wife had the chocolate mousse and I wanted the tiramisu. After being told that there was no tiramisu left, I also went for the chocolate mousse. Big mistake. The chocolate mousse did not have a lot of flavour, and what flavour it did have was not that pleasant. We are not usually people to complain so both my wife and I did try to eat the mousse. But both gave up part way through. When telling the staff that the mousse was not up to scratch, the response was “well you will have to pay for it because you’ve eaten too much of it”. After being treated like that I will not be going back again. The service and dessert both rate as disgusting. And for the whole trip home there was a nasty taste left in my mouth, both from the dessert and the service.

A distinctly ordinary experience on a fairly quiet night at Adriatico. We were not given Menus directly on being shown to the table and had to wait for them. The napkins were very damp to the touch, and left our laps damp when we removed them. When garlic bread arrived, we didn't get any bread plates on which to rest the bread between bites. My husband ordered steak, it was very thin and it had been already been cut in half - we assumed because the chef didn't know how to cook steak correctly and was checking to see if it was done? The glass of wine he ordered with his meal never arrived. The best food on the plate was two small slices of potato. My pasta was tasteless and glue-like. When I had forced down less than half, the waitress asked if it was too rich. When I replied "No, it's too tasteless", she shrugged and walked away. One the positive, the service at Adriatico was relatively fast (apart from the missing drink), and a bottle of chilled water was brought to the table without having to request it.
